just getting to mail today... I see this was posted a few days ago. The setting in question is for sharing your internet connection. Let's say you have two or more machines networked (say, with a hub) and one with the internet connection (DSL, Cable or even Dial-up). The other machines will gain access via that shared connection if allowed in the panel. Not sure what the Internet settings and parameters will be for the others. (I would guess that they would use the address of the connected machine as default router). -jacques.
